It's been a long time since I used SCO in anger but from what I remember the boot&root floppy set just lands you in a shell where you can start disaster recovery from. With SCO you can boot the O/S once the root filesystem is recovered (and you don't need other filesystems to be there initially; you can recover them afterwards). So you only need access to the first HD.

However, I do remember:

Code:
mount /dev/hd0root /mnt

and then manually creating directories under /mnt and mounting other HD based filesystems in order to do a full system restore from tape.

(Have you looked for a /dev/hd1root on the boot&root set???)
ok, I see what your saying, I'll give it a shot

thanks
